Our friends at CrossFit Watertown have written a response to the recent New York Times CrossFit article. The article not only showed a lack of understanding for our purpose, but further portrayed us as a "Cult". That's why we invite people over to "drink the Kool-Aid" before they commit to the demands that we require of them.
"New York Times article (God's Workout), that we CrossFitters are preparing for "an imagined moment of heroism that may never come." May all of our efforts at achieving a fighting level of General Physical Preparedness (GPP) just be the result of succumbing to ridiculous hyperbole designed to make us buy into Greg Glassman’s crazy dream of bringing people home alive. Let’s hope (outside of the military, fire, and law enforcement personnel among us) that we civilians and desk jockeys never once have to use physical strength to survive in this world.
That’s a big hope. "
